Day 76/365 - Tag, I'm It
Image by Kevin H.
For this week's self-portrait I decided to get in the Christmas spirit and shoot my reflection in one of the ornaments on the tree in the lobby of my apartment complex. Also, because I was tagged on Flickr by Picture Prefect, it's now my turn to reveal sixteen random facts about myself and this seemed like a good occasion to do so.
And so here they are:
1. I was once hoisted up into a helicopter that was hovering fifty feet above the deck of a ship at sea.
2. I used to have two earrings and a body piercing, but I quit wearing them about a year ago.
3. I took fencing and bowling classes for PE credit in college and sucked at both.
4. I love musicals.
5. I once had dinner at a restaurant one table over from Condoleeza Rice and totally eavesdropped on her conversations.
6. I've been through the Panama Canal.
7. My driver's license expired about eight years ago and I never bothered to get it renewed (obviously I don't drive).
8. I once chewed the same piece of blueberry Hubba Bubba bubblegum for three days straight (it turned white eventually).
9. I've skydived and bungee jumped, but social situations scare the hell outta me.
10. Until I was halfway through college, I thought the word 'pseudo' was pronounced 'puh-sway-do'
11. I sat three rows in front of Colin Powell for opening night of 'Mamma Mia' at the National Theatre and didn't realize it until I got up to leave at the end.
12. I'm terrified of dancing but secretly wish I knew how.
13. I used to write short stories for fun in high school and college but stopped (I still think up ideas for stories but never actually do anything with them).
14. I'm really good at building a fire (both fireplace and camp fire).
15. I once stepped on the end of a hoe and the handle swung up and whacked me in the face just like in cartoons and Three Stooges shorts and I wound up having to get stitches in my eyebrow.
16. I'm ridiculously over-organized (you have no idea how much time I put into compiling and revising this list).

"Poured Lines: Southwark Street" by Ian Davenport (2 v)
Image by Stewf
2 years, 300 colors
I did the best I could without a tripod and while rushing to the Tate Modern. Here's a much better photo of the piece, a teaser by design firm The Chase, and a shot of the work in progress.
From the accompanying plaque:
To make one of his signature "Poured" works at this location, Ian Davenport devised a new technique pouring liquid enamel in hundreds of different colours onto steel panels, using gravity to form a series of lines down each panel. Once the enamel was applied each panel was then fired in a huge furnace at 825°C to harden the surface making it durable in the urban environment.
Davenport has achieved a fine balance controlling the application of the enamel whilst allowing the unpredictability of the material to play a part. Chance indicates that some lines run into each other, colour intensity fluctuates, and the overall composition across 48 panels pulses with an intense rhythm.
The artist, who is Southwark based, was influenced by sources as diverse as Italian Renaissance frescoes, music and TV cartoons. The painting does not have one dominant theme as the artist wants to allow a very open reading and interpretation of his work.

2011 09 11 - 6336 - Washington DC - Combined Kit
Image by thisisbossi
My photo kit combined with my USAR kit. I repacked it from my previous attempt after I decided I'd rather have better back support instead of the more accessible satchel.
I'd say I was 97% certain that nothing would happen the following day, but I was trying to read into the news reports, trying to think of what the governments' agents were thinking as they considered whether to release information to the public. My guess was that they had a pretty good idea who was doing what & where they were, and by releasing limited info to the public: they were hoping to perhaps scare or hasten the suspects into breaking from their plan, potentially opening themselves up to additional evidence & possibly additional clues into others involved. Or at least that was my psychoanalytical sort of guess.
But I was going to be ready, just in case. The only things left behind were my machete (better suited to jungles than cities; and a step above the security threshold of what I figured I could explain away if questions by police), my crowbar (the tool at the middle sufficed, and again: with the crowbar bigger than my bag it'd have been difficult with the police), my hardhat (too bulky), three pieces of wood (also too bulky), and possibly a few other bits that slip my mind at the moment.
All-in-all the following day went swimmingly; no real action to be seen apart from a few suspicious vehicles here-and-there. The only thing I ultimately used the kit for was a boost to my exercise and also to tend to six separate incidents of maimed children, victims of the gravitational attraction of limbs to pavement. I used my expert band-aid skills to tend to their grievous wounds. Next time I'll get cartoon-themed band-aids.

Melbourne Gaza protest: Latuff cartoon
Image by Takver
Protest against the Israeli attack on the Palestinians of Gaza held at the Melbourne State Library 4 January 2009 A handmade placard of a work by Brazilian cartoonist Latuff who said in Latuff: Cartoonist in Conversation, Dec 18, 2008 in Forward, a Jewish Daily:
My cartoons have no focus on the Jews or on Judaism. My focus is Israel as a political entity, as a government, their armed forces being a satellite of U.S. interests in the Middle East, and especially Israeli policies toward the Palestinians. It happens to be Israeli Jews that are the oppressors of Palestinians.

Bedrock Theatre, where they show Flintstones cartoons all day at Bedrock City, AZ - bedrock46x
Image by mlhradio
Bedrock City, Arizona. The theater, where they show Flintstones cartoons on a screen throughout the day. Coming to the end of the tour.
Located on a broad, flat, desolate plain to the south of the Grand Canyon, Bedrock City was built in 1972 (with a sister version near Mount Rushmore), as a combination kitschy tourist stop and campground. And aside from the garish, brightly-colored touch-up paint, the theme park is showing all of its thirty-plus years of the ravages of the harsh Arizona weather. A couple dozen squat, sturdy, shaped concrete buildings forming the town of Bedrock, with assorted kiddie rides, like a dinosaur slide and go-kart track. An interesting example of tourist-Americana of a bygone era, and equally amazing that it is still puttering along after all these years. For more information, see the Roadside America entry on Bedrock City. An absolute must-see if you're the kind of person to keep an eye out for the next Stuckey's on the side of the highway, or always on the lookout for the occasional Muffler Man.

Not your typical MIT students
Image by Ed Yourdon
While wandering around taking photos, I happened to notice a group of about 20 people out at the edge of the Great Lawn -- equipped with hoops and batons and ropes and various other odds and ends. More people trickled in to join the group, and each newcomer was welcomed with wild abandon ...
I had no idea what was going on, and finally decided to walk over to the group and ask someone. They explained that they were a competitive group of "spinners" (aka jugglers, twirlers, etc.) and that they regularly met on MIT's Great Lawn each Monday evening.
"Oh, so you're not MIT students," I said to them.
"Well, we're not," the fellow in the pink shirt admitted. "But I think some of our members in the past have been MIT students."
"Yeah," said one of the other fellows. "Why not? It's all just physics."
I had no idea what he meant, and decided I should just leave them alone and take a few more pictures as they practiced their moves...
Note: this photo was published in a Sep 5, 2010 blog, titled "Sunday's Thought for the Day."
***********************
It was a lifetime ago that I stumbled off a Greyhound bus in downtown Boston, a clueless 17 year old kid with two suitcases that held all my worldly possessions. I dragged them out to the street (no roll-aboard suitcases in those ancient times), and asked a taxi driver to take me to an address in Cambridge that I had scribbled on a scrap of paper: 77 Massachusetts Ave.
"Aye," the driver muttered, in a dialect that never did become familiar during the next several years. "SebendySebenMassAve."
When he dropped me off, I noticed two things. First, enormous stone steps leading up to the entrance to an imposing granite building. And second, a long line of scraggly, sloppily-dressed young men stretching from the building's entrance down toward the street where the taxi had dropped me. Aha, I thought: I'm not the only one who forgot to fill out the official form requesting a dorm room.
Welcome to MIT.
I waited in line for two hours before being assigned temporarily, with two other equally absent-minded, newly-arrived MIT students, to sleep on mattresses in an East Campus dorm room that had initially been assigned as a "single" room to an understandably annoyed fellow from Cincinnati. One of the other temporary misfits, whom we immediately nicknamed "Filthy Pierre," had just arrived from Paris with nothing but one large, heavy duffel bag that he dragged into the room. Its contents consisted of miscellaneous telephone parts, which he dumped on the floor and kicked under the bed before wandering out of the room to explore Boston. (He had not showered in weeks, and he was eventually expelled for burning a cross on MIT's Great Lawn on Easter morning. But that's another story.)
Thus began my four-year experience at what many still consider America's premiere scientific/engineering university. That I survived and graduated is a minor miracle; and while I'll hint at the adventures along the way, in this Flickr set, you'll have to look elsewhere for the details...
I continued to live in Cambridge for a couple of years after I graduated; took a couple of graduate courses in AI and computer science, taught a couple summer MIT classes to innocent high school students (one of whom challenged me to write the value of pi on the blackboard, to 100 places, from memory - which I did), took full advantage of MIT's athletic facilities, and 25-cent Saturday-nite movies at Kresge auditorium, which always featured the enormously popular RoadRunner cartoons, and occasionally walked through the same halls and pathways that I had first explored as an overwhelmed undergraduate student. But then I got a new job, moved to New York City, got married, settled down, and began raising family. After that, I typically travelled to Boston two or three times a year on business trips, but never seemed to have time to come back to MIT for a casual visit.
But one of the advantages of a near-fanatical devotion to the hobby of photography is that you begin to appreciate that all of the experiences you internalized and took for granted need to be photographed -- for posterity, if nothing else. Some of my most vivid memories of MIT, which we took for granted - like the huge,red, neon, flashing/pulsating "Heinz 57" sign out on the northern edge of the (Briggs) athletic fields -- are gone. Some of the legendary professors and deans have died and commemorative plaques have been erected in their honor. And there's a whole lot of new stuff - mostly new buildings and laboratories, whose specific purpose is a mystery to me - that I just have to shrug and accept.
But the basic campus is still there. And the memories are just as vivid as they were, so many years ago. I can't say that I captured them all in this Flickr set; the photos were taken at sunset one evening, and dawn the following morning. But they'll give you an idea of what it was like, a long long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... and what it's still like today.
SUSPICIOUS DEVICES
Image by mreraser
** EDS NOTE: POSSIBLE OBSCENE GESTURE ** This photo provided by Todd Vanderlin shows an electronic device hanging beneath an overpass in Boston, Monday Jan. 15, 2007. The device consists of light emitting diodes on a circuit board forming the shape of a gesturing character which is part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," a surreal series about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball, according to Turner Broadcasting, a division of Time Warner Inc. and parent of Cartoon Network. Other similar devices, planted at bridges and other spots in Boston threw a scare into the city Wednesday Jan. 31, 2007 in what turned out to be a publicity campaign for the late-night cable cartoon. Highways, bridges and a section of the Charles River were shut down and bomb squads were sent in before authorities declared the devices were harmless. (AP Photo/Todd Vanderlin)

Gridskipper Stole My Image
Image by Jim O'Connell
( Curtis ) just mailed me to tell me that he saw one of my images on Gawker's Gridskipper site. gridskipper.com/travel/boston/drunken-boston-st-paddys-da...
Not only did they steal it, they modified it and added text that I find offensive, as a person of Irish heritage.
Dear Gawker, please go take a look at my licensing terms for unauthorized use of my images. It's on my profile page.
On their legal page, they say this:
"Image Terms of Use
Gawker Media sites typically display images as part of blog posts written by our editors. The types of images editors are authorized to use on Gawker Media sites include:
--[stuff snipped]--
Images published on Flickr or other public photo sites, with an implied license for use under the Creative Commons license associated with such sites."
Well, if you look at the original image, ( www.flickr.com/photos/jimoconnell/382833008/ ) right underneath and to the side, it says "© All rights reserved." While I am a big believer in Creative Commons, I have explicitly chosen not to license most of my images that way.
I have spent many many thousands of dollars on my photography and hope one day to recoup some of that by selling prints and licensing images for commercial use.
(This very image is now hanging in an exhibition and is available as a print for sale.)
It's not fair for them to just take my work, deface it with a cartoon and a racist comment and put it on a commercial site.

Barack Obama, Judgment Day
Image by DonkeyHotey
Barack Obama, Presidential Candidate: "Tough Talk is Not a Substitute for Sound Judgment," .
More quotes from Candidate Obama , "I think it's important for the American people to understand we're not going to drill our way out of this problem," he said.
"It's also important to recognize if you start drilling now you won't see a drop of oil for ten years, which means its not going to have a significant impact on short-term prices. Every expert agrees on that."
President Barack Obama, Remarks by The President on Energy Security at Andrews Air Force Base, 3/31/2010:
"So today we’re announcing the expansion of offshore oil and gas exploration, but in ways that balance the need to harness domestic energy resources and the need to protect America’s natural resources. Under the leadership of Secretary Salazar, we’ll employ new technologies that reduce the impact of oil exploration. We’ll protect areas that are vital to tourism, the environment, and our national security. And we’ll be guided not by political ideology, but by scientific evidence."
It is really part of a pattern for Obama. He articulates the wise choice then executes a compromise that discounts that wisdom.
He goes along with industry, Republicans and Corporate Democrats to get legislation passed and passes unseen costs to the public at large. This oil disaster following his announcement in favor of offshore drilling is a perfect example.
Our government (starting with Bush) did not insist on the best technology or perform proper oversight of offshore drilling. Now we are letting BP avoid giving us all the facts. They will do everything they can to dump the costs of this disaster on the victims and the government.

BACKSTORY: Carolyn's 35th birthday party. 35 people. 8 SubGenuises! 2 cakes! Only 1 visit to the attic this time. Made it 'til 6AM. Still had people over the next day.
808 took 146 pictures with our camera and his memory card, which we copied after the party, and reduced by 55% to 67 pictures.

Patrick?

Even though I've only seen a single episode, Kim and I both independently thought that this starfish looked like Patrick from the Nickelodeon cartoon Spongebob Squarepants.
I suppose this realization is due to the fact that this starfish looks like it's partaking of the normal human stature.
I said I'd do some photoshopping with it. The link shows what I came up with.

Yes, we got married in front of a huge Rugrats poster that is still there today. Snow was on the ground, and our cat Samhain hung out in the window.
We're looking serious here!
Carolyn looks so serious here!

20090907 - art - poster - Drawn Together subway poster - GEDC0018
Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)
The Drawn Together subway-sized (like ~4ft by ~3ft!) poster that we got for on Ebay right when the show first started.
I actually had the idea for an animated reality show way before either Drawn Together or Total Drama Island existed! I guess I'll consider it a compliment that there were not one, but two implementations of my idea.
Anyway, it's a frickin' fabulous poster. It adorned our horrible temporary wall that made downstairs even smaller than pre-construction levels until the addition was built. Then it sat on top of couch city for several years. Finally, once we put up my parent's wood art (thanks to ladder bondage...), we realized this would fit right below it rather perfectly.
Many, if not most, of items put on walls in our house are decided by best fit/use of space, and not not aesthetic desire.

Subject: Real Illusions #18
Image by aerostockians1scaf.sofact
Description: >Hopefully soon I will be able to upgrade to a FLICKr pro account, and organize my photos into sets, making it a lot easier for me and for you. However as for now it is recommended that you start by reading the “Description” at Real Illusion #1 and read all the “Descriptions” in all of the Real Illusions #1 through #17, if you are to understand what is happening here with these aliens.
>These photos in Real Illusions #18 are all similar in scene but are being shot at different times in the day or evening. Time brings about changes.
>Simply view all these photos in the LARGE SIZE provided by FLICKr, and open up a new more alert, astute world for you.
>When trying to identify those Aerostockian’s that are in the photos, you should look for a HAZY BROWN IMAGE that almost looks like a Spirit. Sometimes the image is outlined and shaped by a black thin line. The eyes almost always show dark pupils and a bright white eyeball. Sometimes one or two of them appear to be completely bright white in colour and look like a cartoon character. Don’t be thrown off by the fact that they will form around a natural shape. For example if rocks and leaves have fallen to form the shape of two eye sockets and a head, then you might assume that this is all it is, simply rocks and leaves. True that is all it is unless you see those items draped or surrounded by what is a Brown Hazy Spirit. With practice you will learn to tell the difference. This is their God-given method used to facilitate concealment; and besides spirits (transparent-cloaked beings) always seek to cling to or posses something.
>As you learn what to look for, I assure you that in each photo you will readily identify nothing less than twenty (20) aliens. Usually they are in the form of snakes or animals or weird human faces. One will always see the alien because they are not spirits (you can not see spirits), they are simply bending light rays (? Or however God did it). I do not believe this is a technology of theirs; it is the functioning level that God made them at. Again providing more proof that there is a God. To become a Spirit or transparent we Earthlings must first die but not the Aerostockian’s. However I hear that our scientist are working on and will soon have this cloaking capability.
>I believe them be to humans but understanding that they come from another planet, they had to adopt for survival on their planet just like we humans of the earth had to adopt for survival on our planet. So let’s not judge or be critical of these little people because they could be here to usher us into the space age, providing the common man with a cheap spaceship technology that affords every family the ability to purchase a spaceship for the same cost of purchasing a car. The effects of Global Warming could force us down this highway.
>After all, I don’t think that God intended for all generations of earthling, to settle on not travelling the universe. With God’s seal of approval, I will teach Christ to these aliens and if at all possible they in turn will provide us Mankind with a technology that allows us to mass produce spaceships at the same cheap price of purchasing a car.
>There is a God because He is the union between us humans of the earth and those humans from other planets. The truth is that all intelligent life in the universe has the same Creator-God and the same saviour, God’s only begotten son, Christ, the link joining together all human life in the universe.
>So look closely and you will start to see a new world. In the Aerostockian world just like in our world; animals are animals and snakes are snakes and pets are pets and human type FACES are human. Each photo although sharing the same scene but not taken at the same time, will produce additional life. We humans move around, well so do the Aerostockians. You are simply looking at an alien SOCIETY, at alien daily activity. Just like us humans, they live in groups not located far apart. They are a sovereign nation of human beings. God gave them their sovereignty just like He gave sovereignty to the nations of this world.
